In the two novels‚ The Things They Carried‚ Catch 22‚ and the 1979 film Apocalypse Now‚ war is illustrated as being a chaotic battlefield‚ where people have no remorse for one another as men constantly die right in front of them. The idea of war being cruel is seen as a truth of war among these three works. In addition‚ the concept of isolation exists throughout these works‚ to show that being out in a war can truly change someone. These two truths of war are demonstrated ultimately to emphasize
